branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master
Some symlinks were not created correctly when installing the
Linux-firmware package. This patch fixes the support for all symlinks of
the form:
a/foo -> bar
a/foo -> b/bar
a/foo -> ../b/bar
With this patch all forms of symlinks described in the WHENCE file
should be supported, whether they are in nested directories, or in
non-existing ones.
As some symlinks could be in directories that do not exist, we must
maje sure to canonicalize the path before testing the linked-to file.
We compared the symlinks installed pre-20200122 to what we have now, and
it seems we're handling all of them with this patch.

- use readlink in canonicalize-missing mode, to avoid
creating-then-removing directories
